Uh oh...im measuring at 27 weeks and am only 23 weeks.

My doctor was not concerned,but made me feel as though I may have a big baby on my hands. She told me that at the time of my ultrasound my little one was weighing at almost a pound and should have only been weighing 4 oz or so. When she measured me she had this look on her face kinda like an "uh oh" face. Told me I was measuring an entire month ahead. Anyone ever experience this? She also told me I am all baby.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. It's pretty common. They go by statistics for measurments. It doesn't mean it's abnormal. There could be a lot of reasons for that. Ask your doctor if they are concerned or not. If they aren't then relax and enjoy your pregnancy. :)

I had that happen with my second, but at the following visit he was measuring closer to "normal". Don't buy into the myth that your baby could be too big to birth. Unless there are other health concerns, it is not enough reason alone to justify extreme interventions like a planned c-section. Also keep in mind that the measurements taken via ultrasound at 20 weeks are the most accurate measurements you can get. The measurements taken closer to your due date can be up to 2 pounds off in either direction! It doesn't sound like anything to get worried about, and If your care provider starts sounding an alarm, find out why. Other than that, proceed as normal.
